Dominion Customers Face RGGI Bill Surge

Virginia’s return to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative means Dominion Energy customers could face a six to seven-and-a-half percent jump on their bills in 2026 — adding up to $375 per household and $500 million annually. The cost? Covering carbon emissions from power plants, with Dominion legally required to pass these expenses on. With 50 million tons of coal ash needing management and a $50–$60 per ton emissions price tag, the bill is steep. Dominion plans to spread costs over two years to ease the impact, hoping to fund cleanup and even return savings to state infrastructure — but environmental goals clash with economic realities.
